IV.SPECIAL TESTS
IV.A.
Bench Drop Test (Tool and Battery) - Each sample must be fully functional with no visual defects after completion of test.

IV.B.1
Drop Test (Tool and Battery) - Drop samples per NPQ at ambient temperature. Electrical safety, functionality, and structural integrity must be maintained after each drop. Seam gaps in excess of 0.063-inch and excessive deformations are not allowed.

IV.B.2
Cold Drop Test (Tool and Battery) - Drop sample one (1) time from 2 feet immediately upon removal from freezer after 24 hour exposure to -32degC. Electrical safety, functionality, and structural integrity must be maintained after each drop. Seam gaps in excess of 0.063-inch and excessive deformations are not allowed, LCD must re-illuminate after the unit warms back up to ambient temperature.

IV.C.
Drop Test (chargers) - Electrical safety, functionality, and structural integrity must be maintained after each drop. Seam gaps in excess of 0.063-inch and excessive deformations are not allowed.

IV.D.
Exposure to elevated temperature - Each sample must be fully functional with no visual defects after completion of the test.


IV.E.

IV.F.1.
Tool Cases - N/A

IV.F.2.
Tool Case Hinges - N/A

IV.G.
Mechanical Actuators - There must be no malfunction of the actuators as a result of the test.

IV.H. Lanyard Qualification-N/A

IV.l.
Controls-when tested per test procedure in NPQ xx:
1. Lock-on feature must remain engaged for the duration of the test.
2. Each sample must achieve a minimum of 500 cycles.
3. Each sample must achieve a minimum of 500 cycles.
4. Each sample must achieve a minimum of 500 cycles.

 

IV.SPECIAI TESTS(Cont´d)
IV.J.
Hose Pull Test - Both high pressure & low pressure hose on each sample must be able to withstand the pull force of 10 lbs. for one (f) minute at ambient temperature. Each sample must be fully functional with no air leaks after completion of the test (1 cycle).

IV.K.
Hose Flexibility Test - On each sample, for both high pressure & low pressure hoses, double the hose back upon itself at a distance of 75mm to 100 mm from the attachment point to the tool and hold for one (1) minute at temperature specified in NPQ. Each sample must be fully functional with no air leaks after completion of the test (1 cycle).


IV.L.
LCD Performance - The L'CD must remain functional throughout all phases of testing. During cold drop testing, the display is allowed to fade out as long as it redisplays when ambient temperature is reached.

 

V.Packaging
Each package must meet the requirements of the ISTA-2A as a result of the impacts.

Note:
These tests are conducted to obtain insight into safety, quality, and durability of the product.These tests will gather valuable information that helps fulfill acceptance requirements. Any failure on these tests must be evaluated by the product team to determine the necessary corrective action.
